What reading level is Inventions of the Great War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The diameter of the shell was 42 centi- meters, which is about 16i^ inches. It carried an enormous amount of high explosive, which was designed to go off after the shell had penetrated its target. The marvel of this how- itzer was not that it could fire so big a shell but that so large a piece of artillery could be trans- ported over the highroads and be set for use in battle. But although the 42-centimeter gun was widely advertised, the real work of smashing the Belgian forts was done by the A...ustrian GUNS AND SUPER-GUNS 81 "Skoda" howitzers, which fired a shell of 30.5- centimeter (12-iiich) caliber, and not by the 42- centimeter gun. The Skoda howitzer could be taken apart and transported by three motor- cars of 100 horse-power each. The cars trav- eled at a rate of about twelve nules per hout.
It is claimed the gun could be put together in twenty-four minutes, and would fire at the rate of one shot per minute.
FIELD-GUNS So far, we have talked only of the big guns, but in a modern battle the fieM-gun plays a very important part.
